Paul, Rivers, Green, Clark, Nene...We found something?

He was better last year than House was this year.

Siakim looked promising the whole season not just 20 games.

Are you actually comparing House to Siakim?

 

Chris Paul versus 2nd units can be deadly.

But when you pair up CP3 with Gerald Green or Eric Gordon where CP can snake dribble in the lane and find those guys at the 3pt arc...AND....they are HITTING those open looks, things can look really good!

 

Maybe against the Raptors, every team is different.

And this line-up was against the Raptors crappy bench (ever since they traded their depth for Gasol)

 

Yeah, we found something.

We found...that Harden has certainly dragged lesser teams than our current squad to the playoffs before.

 

Pretty sure we are waiting for the following to become true before converting him and bringing him up:

• RGV season ending
• It becomes statistically impossible for Capela to get his bonuses

I could be wrong, but that's how I see it going down.

 

Sure. Let me know how we do it.

 

Possible but if we don't need him and he won't sign Morey's contract then why bring him back? I am expecting them to try what we have 1st to see if they can do the same or better job then House and if they can then why bring House back as MDA has a short rotation anyway in the playoffs? He rarely goes past 7-8 players so House would be sitting on the bench watching the action. Morey gave him a chance and offered a nice contract and he turned Morey down. Now if shump or Faried or Rivers get hurt and we have no more 7-8 players then Morey will bite the bullet and bring House back. Morey won't unless he signs a multi year contract that is very team friendly. I personally wish House had signed the multi year contract that Morey offered and been playing with us but he wouldn't. Hope he enjoys playing in China.

 

the formula is that harden's transcendent offensive ability forces the other team to burn all 5 of their best defensive players vs him, leaving only a collection of sieves to be rained upon by cp3 and co

 

because he would be taking up 1 of 2 spots currently occupied by 10 day contracts. Which are essentially open because neither player is valuable. its basically buying time for a player to be insurance at the wing position. I'd be pretty entirely surprised once the D-League season ends as @heypartner has pointed out on several occasions, if he isn't converted to an nba contract for the rest of the of year and be playoff eligible. It would leave about 8 games left in the year in the regular season.

 

OK, here is the bet.

1. House will return to play in at least one Rockets regular season or playoff game.
2. This bet does not require Morey to convert House to an NBA contract, nor sign him to a new one. Although playing in a game under such a conversion or new contract also awards heypartner the winner.
3. House shall have no excuse for not playing. If House gets injured or even dies, and doesn't play in another Rockets game this year, @bacliff wins

NOTE: You -- @bacliff -- are fully aware that Danuel House can be called up after March 23rd, under his current 2-Way Contract that is already paid for.
​

I have two wagers, you can pick one:

• $100
  or
• A Coke

Be careful, because you are going to lose this bet, unless #3 above happens.

 

Yes but the team said they didn't want to do a one year so he can go find his worth and pay more than they needed. They felt that they should be able to have him under a longer contract as they brought him along. I am just taking what the team already said so unless House will sign a multi year contract that meant he is gone. I expect him by the end of the year to sign that multi year contract but from everything I have read they are at a stalemate. I doubt Morey will blink a and cave in as he never has in the past.

 

Because improving while staying under LT is more important.

 

I expect him to fulfill his 2 way contract so he may play here under that so not sure why we are betting on this. I thought you are saying that House is going to be converted to a one year contract and become a RFA after the season. I will bet he does not but will agree that House starts acting smart enough to sign a multi year contract that was offered before. I can see maybe a small bump in pay if Capela misses his bonus but Morey will not overpay him and will let him go.

Adding that I thought his 2 way contract was over and have no idea he has any eligibility left to play NBA games. If he does why bring him on to play a few games when we have to get the roster ready for playoffs?

 

Improving how? Is House better than what we can do with Faired, Rivers, etc? To be honest I don't think House is a starter on a playoff team and think he may be a 9-10 man at best. MDA plays 7-8 players in the playoffs so why go through any hassle with House if he is not going to help us in the playoffs? I can see if House gives in a takes the multi year (If Morey will still offer it but that is a big if) he coming on board.

 

yeah, the rule is that 2-way players who use up their 45 days of NBA time can be called up again after the D-League season concludes. This happened to Tyrone Wallace of the Clippers last year. He will be called up, because the NBA requires us to keep 14 players on the roster, hence why Chiozza and TJones are signed to 10-days.

fwiw: Morey might not convert him nor try again to get him to sign a multi-year deal, but Morey can still make him RFA this summer, regardless. And he likely will rather than let him turn into an unrestricted free agent.

 

That is cool to do but we are getting into the end of the season and soon it will be too late to integrate him into a pivotal role on the team. I can see MDA already figuring out his 7-8 man rotation he is going to use in the playoffs. Bring in House late means he is of little value to us except as maybe a possible depth piece. ( I would love to have him as a depth piece though) His value for this year at least plummets the more games played to where why should we even sign him except as a future depth piece and that means a multi year contract?

I just don't see Morey wasting his time on someone that is going to be a RFA unless he is going to help us out this year. Morey has always played hardball and he probably has taken offense at his offer being rejected. I personally don't think any team will pay him more and give him a multi year to boot so I believe he is staying in G League or China. Teams know that players look better next to Harden and Paul than they would probably look next to what they have and he is a risky investment. Teams want proven players and House has a short tenure. I can see if he signs soon that he may be able to work his way into the rotation as a key player but from what I read he will not be coming back until near the end of the season when the rotation is pretty much set.

 

Okay so then just go with Shumpert? lol alright Rockets homers. Don't get too caught up in recent wins.

 

How the hell do you know how House would look for the whole season if he hasn't had the chance to play more than 20 games? You guys are trying way too hard to excuse the rich owner and GM.

 

Being a Homer would be me saying he is better than Siakam since hehe still affiliated with our d-league team. I didn't say anything about going with Shump, my comment was bout him being anywhere close to Siakam and it's the truth. All the House fans need to get off his d**k. Infesting the GARM with their infatuation. The dude is no longer on the roster, longing for him to be ain't gonna change how this current roster gonna play.

 

I don't know how he would look but I do I ow that Dial in has never been cut by a NBA team and that he was a major rotation piece in his 2nd year and a starter on a playoff team in his 3rd year.I

House has had the chance to play more than 20 games just several teams thought he was not good enough.
